Ross '01, who plays the part of Olaf, the innkeeper. One feature of the second act is the appearance of some twenty Indian warriors. The third act is filled...
Perhaps the best feature of the number is the verse, "Attila the Hun," which is admirable, with its rapid, abrupt wording. It is full of vitality, and is a relief after the usual descriptive efforts of College poetry. "The Palms of Memphis," by the same author, conveys its impression more quietly, but is nearly as vivid...
